Students interested in alternative or more specific credit categories
should discuss their ideas with me by the end of week two.

Credit is awarded for “passing” work in each separate credit area.

Written evaluations function to characterize the nature and quality of a student’s credit-worthy work. In the case of a complete loss of credit in any one area, evaluations are completely silent on that aspect of the program.

Policies: This program requires self-discipline, individual work, and group-work. Please follow the schedule closely and prepare for and attend all seminars, workshops, lectures, and critiques. I expect all work to be submitted on time. Late submissions communicate that you are not keeping up with your work. In all but the most extenuating of circumstances, work that is submitted past its due date and time will not be read. Failure to attend all program meetings or to submit all work could result in a loss of credit.

During Week Five, you will have a brief mid-quarter evaluation with your seminar faculty. At this meeting, you will have a chance to discuss your progress and specific aspects of your work. This date also marks a cut-off after which work from the first half of the quarter can no longer be considered for credit.

Any student who plagiarizes material will lose credit, be asked to leave the program, and may be required to leave the college. Ask me if you have any questions. The Evergreen writing center also has information on plagiarism.
